Nobody Else Has to Fall

By Caroline Popoola

Caroline Popoola is what you would call as an 'accidental entrepreneur'. She fought her way from being the underdog to a lioness within the business world. For over 15 years, she has successfully inspired generations of entrepreneurs across the globe through her business journey and coaching programs. In her book 'Nobody Else Has to Fall', Caroline tells the story of how her world as she knew it, changed within a month. Her so called 'safe haven' that was built over many years almost became her downfall. Caroline shares how she rose against the challenges that tried to keep her down and learnt the importance of self-care and self-love. This is her method for staying positive even when life throws curveballs at you and how she has embraced the best of what life has to offer as a woman, wife, and mother in the business world.

The world is saturated with self-help authors, life and business coaches, motivational speakers and mentors. I was cautious while writing this book, not to fall under this bracket for good reasons. True self-help leaders have real-life stories to share and evidence to show how they overcame obstacles and challenges in their pursuit of reaching set goals.

Nobody Else Has to Fall is a heart-to-heart memoir that shines a light on my humble beginnings and more importantly, it showcases various stages of my development in life, business and family. I talk about my marriage, finances, family. I share the highs, lows and great falls I faced while building a multimillion-pound business and also juggling the school run.

In the early 70s, as a girl, I was described as someone who will never amount to anything. But, I refused to let my past dictate who I was going to become. Today, I am one of London’s leading childcare providers leading over seventy-five people from my Greenwich Head Quarters, a life-coach,  and mentor. Recently, I launched a foundation that supports over 150 children and women.

After falling from a ladder in my beloved HQ, I was incapacitated and unable to work for months. I share the agony of these months and some tips that kept my business alive while I was bed bound.
